Outline of Final Research Achievements

We induced hiPSCs to neural crest like cells and purified them by triple cell surface markers. To observe the efficacy of these cells, embedded into silicon conduit only with collagen. Transplantations were performed in the mice sciatic nerve defect models. We evaluated the efficiency of purifying and gathering the triple positive cells. Then, we measured function potential, electrophysiological potential, and histological potentials of the regeneration nerves. These results were as well as those of the autograft transplantation.
We have just started to make new implant for transplantation and to transplant in larger animals.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

末梢神経の欠損は、高度外傷や悪性腫瘍の切除、さらには手術の全合併症の2割に及ぶ神経の損傷に対して治療手段が模索されている。現在のスタンダートな治療である自家神経移植は、採取部位の機能欠損や、採取可能な長さの規定など様々なデメリットがある。人工神経による有用な再生が現在も待望されている。本研究の目的である自家神経移植と同等以上の機能回復を示すヒトiPS細胞を用いたハイブリッド型人工神経の開発が実現すれば、これらの欠損部位への治療戦略において大きな解決が期待される。
